Chapter 8

"It's been one month," Mouni calculates in her mind. She slowly walks into her institute building. "She must be busy today. I should wait."

After sometime the period bell rings to announce the end of the on going class. Girls and boys are passing Mouni but she is waiting patiently for only one person, her best friend- Salman ki sabse badi Deewani...she laughs at that remarks. During last Holi she was little upset over Mohit. But he made her forgave him for that with his own ways (she blushes deeply by the very thoughts of Mohit's many ways of asking forgiveness.) "Inappropriate thoughts" she reprimands herself. That time she got 120 missed calls (collectively from her all friends. Because she was disappeared from the festivity without anyone's knowledge, they all became worried sick for her well beings.)

"Monu" she comes out form her thoughts and looks at caller.

"Foru!!" she exclaims and captures her into a tight embrace.

"What happen?? Why you are here?" Foru asks her confusedly.

"Foram, Mohit and me fight again." She informs her.

Now it's time to be worried for Foram. She always loves her best friend Mouni and respects her husband Mohit as her elder brother. But whenever they fight she feels helpless not knowing which side should she take? She silently messages her other friends while Mouni tells her about the situation.

"What??" Ria, Divya, Priya , Ritu and Sadhana exclaim together. They all are in utmost shock to know this current problem. "How do you know?" Ria enquires.

" I was going to meet my sister to Pol Sc. Dept. And the short cut passes through the chemistry lab from my Bio-Tech building. Seeing them both I wanted to say hello but Di stopped me there. So I hiding behind the wall eavesdropped." Rimi answers guiltly.

"We need to contact Mohit." Divya starts but that time an unexpected happens.

"I need to talk to you girls." Saying this Mohit walks in and settles between them. After an hour finally they find a solution. Till then Foram is with Mouni to console her. So they ask her to be with her and take her to the terrace of Art Dept. Building. Monu is one of their faculty so none question why other department's fellows are in there. And giving and promising some handsome bribe to Mimi, Rimi's sister they enter the building from back door. Now the bride and man is facing each other. So the others back out a little. First Mohit breaks the silence.."Mouni I am sorry for last night's fight."

"I am pregnant." Mouni answers nervously.

"I won't fight with you ever." Mohit swears.

"I know you don't want this child." She says sadly.

"What? I don't want??" Mohit gets a 440 shock and stutters for a moment. "I..I..um ..a.what?/ you are pregnant means you are pregnant with my child?? Oh my God. I knew it." Suddenly he starts dancing.

"You know?" she surprises "Wait how do you know?" then she looks at the whole group.

Suddenly they all remember that they have lots of pending works like Ria needs to finish her project, Sadhana and Divya have classes, Priya has to go home and Ritu and Rimi have to rush at Prinicipal's office. SO they hastily bide them good bye and vanish.

"They do that for us." Mouni says gladly taking refuge in Mohit's arms.

"Yeah. Because Foru who is also a Deewani of Salman Khan (he internally sighs.) and all love you very much. You have some really very great friends, Monu." He kisses her crown in affection.

"Oh they love you too." She replies mischievously.

"Uh..huh. Yo are not jealous with that huh?" he asks her playfully...

"Shut up...you..." and they go on and on. And standing on stair wall of the terrace, out of their sight the group silently pray to the Almighty that may they live like this happily ever after...
